Krav Maga, which means Hand to Hand Combat in Hebrew, is a constantly evolving training system first developed in the Israeli Defense Forces. The first IDF Fighting Fitness Academy Krav Maga Chief Instructor was Imrich Lichtenfeld (Immi Sde-Or). Second, was Eli Avikzar, and third was Boaz Aviram.

The system was designed to create a close quarter fighter within a short period of time which will prevail, hand to hand, against an enemy with years of martial art or street fighting experience.

Krav Maga is built on the principles of human physiology, psychology and reaction time. Rather than repeatedly drilling in rigid engagement techniques, Krav Maga students learn to analyze a hostile environment, stop the opponents capabilities according to his posture, selecting the appropriate action, within split second before the engagement.

What is different about PKML is that:

• We use only the original and true form of KRAV MAGA as developed by IMI LICHTENFELD and taught at the WINGATE INSTITUTE Netanya, Israel.
• We use only IDF proven techniques
• No Sports or Competitions unlike other Martial Arts
• No Holds Barred (NHB) Self Defence training
